Infinix Philippines is entering the second year of its partnership with Aurora Gaming PH, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. This strategic alliance has evolved far beyond a typical sponsorship, focusing on building deep roots within the Filipino gaming culture, and right now, that culture is celebrating a massive win on the world stage.

As of January 22, 2026, Aurora Gaming has officially roared into the Upper Bracket Finals of the M7 World Championship in Jakarta. In a high-stakes semifinal match held just yesterday, the “Northern Lights” took down the hometown favorites, Indonesia’s Alter Ego, with a dominant 3-1 scoreline. This victory guarantees Aurora a top-three finish, marking their most successful international campaign to date.

The journey hasn’t just been about the pros in the arena. Back home, Infinix has been the heartbeat of the fandom, powering nationwide watch parties and community “satellite” events. From giveaway prizes to the “Game for Good” charity basketball event that raised funds for the ABS-CBN Foundation, this partnership is proving that esports is a powerful tool for community building and social impact.
